BOSS Dual Expression Pedal
The BOSS Dual Expression Pedal is Boss's dual expression controller for multi-effects units and synths. Two independent expression outputs in one chassis saves pedalboard space. Built with Boss's tank-like construction. It's a utility piece — not glamorous, but critical for players running complex rigs.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- +Two independent expression outputs control multiple parameters simultaneously
- +Solid Boss construction with metal chassis
- +Compatible with Boss, Line 6, and most multi-effects units
- +Saves pedalboard space vs. running two separate expression pedals
- +Smooth potentiometer action with good resistance
Cons
- −$140+ is expensive for an expression pedal with no electronics
- −Dual outputs are niche — most players only need one expression control
- −Heavy and bulky compared to single expression pedals
- −Boss build quality is solid but utilitarian — no premium feel at this price
The Verdict
The Dual Expression Pedal is a niche tool for players running complex rigs who need to control multiple parameters simultaneously. At $142.99, it’s expensive for what is essentially a mechanical controller, but it saves pedalboard space. Our EJ score of 50 (critic: 80, community: 30) shows a notable split between professional reviews and user feedback reflects the critic-vs-user divide: pros appreciate the utility, but users balk at the price. If you’re running a Boss GT-1000 or Line 6 Helix and need dual expression, this is your only Boss option. Otherwise, it’s overkill.
